what's ethereum?

Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform enabling smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) across DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. Founded by Vitalik Buterin, it uses a proof-of-stake consensus for scalable, energy-efficient transactions. The ecosystem supports developers with robust tools, fostering innovation in Web3 applications and cross-chain interoperability.
